should set hostname first on new F5 appliance before running setup utility?
Herman2024 I believe this guide can still be followed for the most part and it does recommend that you configure the hostname of the device activating and licensing the device.

hi Paulius , thanks for your advice. In order to make the device certificate is more readable , better to have the hostname configured first then generate the local device. So the setup utiliy seems not very good because generating device certificate first , then can configure the hostname under Tab "Platform". Now I need to renew the device certificate after set the hostname.
